FAMOUS PAINTER ZHANSEM’S NEW WORKS EXHIBITED AT PARIS "MATIGNON" GALLERY

PARIS, AUGUST 3, NOYAN TAPAN – ARMENIANS TODAY. Prominent French
Armenian painter Zhansem’s (Hovhannes Semerjian) 40 canvases
were exhibited in June-July at the famous "Matignon" gallery of
Paris. According to the Istanbul "Marmara" daily, the canvases are
mainly new works. On the occasion of opening of the new exhibition
the Paris "World" newspaper wrote that the time goes, but the charm of
Zhansem’s art does not fade away. Dance and nature of Armenia became
a source for the painter’s inspiration. Three landscape paintings
on the Armenian theme were a pleasant surprise for visitors of the
exhibition. Those are a tribute of respect by the painter to his
native country, its nature. The "Walls" series of paintings also
took some place at the exhibition. During the exhibition days the
visitors were also able to watch an interesting video film dedicated
to Zhansem’s life and art. This last exhibition of Zhansem’s works
finished on July 29.

Emil Lazarian: “I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
